Greg sent me the link to scottevest.com because he loved the way form follows function with their travel clothing. He always travels with several gadgets and the ability to store them in nifty places and secret pockets in his clothing was very appealing. So I browsed through the site and also liked a few of the items, like the women’s trench coat and the men’s tropical jacket. If those particular items fit properly, they’ll make nice traveling clothes, keeping your goodies safe and easily accessible. You could wear them in an urban ensemble and look quite hip.

Many of the SeV products are sporty and gear-like, and definitely have their place on adventurous, outdoorsy vacations, or in casual sporty settings. These items are a little wasted on me, but they might work for you, or for the man in your life. We all know how difficult it can be to buy a nice gift for a bloke.

Cool. This reminds me of an interview I saw once with the designer of Limi Feu, who designed all of these huge pockets into her jackets so she wouldn’t have to carry a bag. I do this with one of my winter coats that has huge pockets. Love it!

There’s a sewing pattern line called Saf-T-Pockets which has a lot of patterns along the same lines. The nice thing is that several of them are quite sophisticated looking, not gear-y at all. Of course I own one, but haven’t sewn it yet.

So funny that you mention this because I saw it in the NYTimes on Sunday and was pointing it out to my hubby. I haven’t looked at the men’s jackets but thought he might be interested in the idea of eliminating or lightening carry on luggage by putting things in pockets. I really do wonder if the women’s trench coats would be as smooth as they say….

Wow, I really, really like the red trench! I would totally use one of those while traveling, and it looks cute for everyday wear, too. Sigh… maybe they’ll still have ’em by the time my birthday rolls around.

I’ve had the vest for a few years. Tend to wear it over a heavy hoodie as cold weather outerwear. It is NOT a fashion item, but quite an extraordinary “expedition” garment that I wouldn’t trade for anything. It carries all manner of camera necessities and what not. Love it. Heading right over to check out the trench! Intriguing….

I was just complaining the other day that women’s coats never have an inside pocket. This one has them in spades! I’d like to see it in person too, though. I’m not sure I believe that it could look non-bulky.
